Champions League: Werner Schlager-Alan Bentsen

[jitterist]

5:12 Schlager finally realises he's a mental prick. Seriously, he's got to be the most condescending Player around, so full of himself.

[brahms008]

very unusual half distance style for Alan but his backhand is very deceptive !

[badcompany2984]

Bei dem letzten Ballwechsel hate Bentsen keine E... in der Hose.

[phalobao]

THIS IS SCHLAGER!!!

[MrJuergen95]

5:55 WTF ?

[josuecochi]

5:51 that old is Alan!

ufffffffffffffffffff

[321quixote]

シュラガーは天才的だけど、そのぶん観客に見せるリスクの多いプ­レーも多く見せてくれます。見ているほうはドキドキですが。でも­、観客を、その卓越したプレーで驚喜させてくれるシュラガーが大­好きです。

[MrRothhaendle]

i watched this last point about 10 times

and it still amazes me!

[MrWaaghals]

Schlager was just such a beast at the end

[Beeray11]

best match point ever. 

[TarasGSlyepchenko]

@Beeray11

Best match point for schlager

[Echschmet]

WTH richard prause is svs n. trainer? löl

[GeneralSpecific3]

Geca Phoenix needs to use the match point in one of his compilation videos

[GeneralSpecific3]

That's an amazing point in general, but to have it be match point makes it a mark in the history of table tennis

[TTHurricane]

3:05 that served raped. Great upload, and I underestimated how good this Alan Bentsen guy is. 5*

[utahjai]

I can't believe old guy like Alan can play a fast and furious game like this one, wow what defenses he pulled off. Good game.

[Beeray11]

@utahjai i was thinking the same thing when i saw JM saive, although he's not as old. You see some of these matches and its so amazing to see how fast these older guys are still playing. It really provides a perspective to how fast top level TT is.

[Dare4ev3r]

6:05 is he Richard Prause?

[Echschmet]

@Dare4ev3r because he has no work at mom (schlager academy still not opened) he teaches schlagers club. ..

[quyenthenghiem]

Bentsen always seems to play looser when he's up in games. He likes to back off the table and lob/defend, which is what cost him the match. I really think he should've won.

[julonimo]

Best match point ever

[007StevenS]

Champions League?

I guess you mean Senior League

[tabletennisperson]

when schlager dived why did bentsen just fish the ball back to the table D; coulda been a bit more quicker on his feet to hit the ball past schlager D:

[kaikaz]

Bentsen was the better player in this match. Schlager starts to act more and more like a whining cunt if you ask me. Throwing his racket on the table, looking at his opponent like you just didnt know you did that yourself, being so disrespectful, not what I expected to see from schlager. I pretty much lost all my respect for him. I've seen a few matches from alan bentsen and I like his style and his fighting spirit. How old is he btw?

[AllrounderMaximus]

@kaikaz you mean 5:13 ? He did it for himself ! I´m an austrian + tabletennisplayer and so I know that Schlager did it for himself. He says to himself : " Play intelligent ! " or stuff like that !

so you don´t have to lose respect of him only because of this match ! ^^

[Mitha4]

is this a new season?



[lightmobile]

most entertaining match I've seen in a long while...so great. this old man really took it to schlager, who of course is not so young himself. awesome. but schlager out-moxied him.

[johnbozi]

Love Benson backhand punish for the cute drop shots or mistakes

[amsturkey]

Good lord what a drama!..

[Schwertlilie81]

good game

[simpanz]

[DaniloDividina]

[GecaPhoenix]

6:20,Incredible Dive!Amazing!

Thanks ttCountenance!:)

[johnbozi]

@GecaPhoenix It a great quality clip hay!

[GecaPhoenix]

@johnbozi Yeah man,I agree!;)

[speedyspin]

great comeback... schlager ruleeees

[rcmontecalvo]

Schlager!!

[TTridata]

Great comeback!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! That dive at the end was a truly Boll point.

[DKPOWA]

I still dont know what happened in front of my eyes... really...

Bentsen owning Schlager?

Werner missing all his characteristics shots? His famous "drop shots"?

The last point was hysterical, the other team was already cheering while Schlager took a dive and saved the day ^^

Also, at 5:12, I think that gesture is for himself, like saying, you have to use more your head, showing that, the topspin from bellow the table was obviously without any real spin and so Bentsen sent it to the net :D

[swarupsh]

super match this one. thanx for uploading..

[vinnen6]

This is amazing, thanks for uploading!!

[muntecy]

HOw old is Bentsen? He looks like a grandfather.

[TableTennisDaily]

Bloody amazing!!! That is a massive full out dive from Werner Schlager, no idea how he recovered!!!

[RynkaB]

where's Maze?

[dafydd1994]

@RynkaB Somewhere in Russia with Chen Qi, Hao Shuai and his new team mates at UMMC

[Opalance]

oh god, he gave away the match not putting away that last point when he had Schlager on the ground.

[stalvio007]

OMG //

the last point was something!!!!!!!

Shhlager is my idol in TT!!!

but Bentsen such a good player too //never heard about him//

How old is he???

[sallom899]

WOWWWWWWW ! amazing match ! Drop shots didn't work well on Bentsen!

[TTabacho]

WHAT A LAST POINT !

[if7084]

Unbelieveble on the floor, get's up and fishes the ball. Other guy misses the easy one on Match point. What a comeback from Schlager on the floor with that point.

[pfebbraio]

WOW......Amazing comeback.....for both..... but in the end the better player won!

[sabolindale]

either Bengtson played really well that day or Schlager was like only 80%

[giaci89thebest]

very intense

[Care4URchameleon]
